Lose the flab in rehab

“Mob Wives” star Renee Graziano says she’s feeling “100 pounds lighter” after being released from rehab last week. Page Six broke the story last month that Graziano admitted herself to Transitions rehab center in Miami. “I’ve battled with prescription pills in the past. I noticed I started to get bad panic attacks again. Things started to surface again that I always bury with Xanax. I made a decision to deal with it no matter how much I’m afraid,” she told us on Friday. Graziano learned how to better manage her anger and self-addiction issues and manage conflict with others (a recurring theme on “Mob Wives”). “I’m definitely not going to like everyone, but I don’t have to be angry about it,” she said. For those who believe her rehab was a scripted plot point for the show, Graziano responded: “I wouldn’t call myself a recovering addict if I wasn’t one. Let haters hate, because it’s truly themselves they hate.” The Staten Island native was in rehab during the superstorm, but she asked her fans on Twitter to help raise money for displaced families and is now looking to organize a fundraiser for Sandy victims.
